I hope for her sake it doesn't turn out to be tb. I lost half my herd of lovely alpacas to tb and it is an horrific ordeal to go through. If it is TB then her other two are at a huge risk of having it already. She needs to let her neighbours know as soon as possible. Many owners have lost their entire herds and as you can imagine it is devestating. The website the previous author mentioned is www.alpacatb.org

Oh no! I'd not thought of that, poor Lynda. I have a real soft spot for her as she's genuinely such a good-hearted, well meaning person. She has been especially lovely with Vicky - I thought the episode where she'd been and got the same washing powder so the laundry smelled familiar to Bethany was so sweet.

Isn't the interweb a wonderful thing - I've found a website giving 'help and support for those afflicted by Bovine TB in Alpacas and Llamas'. Did you know that by the end of Q3 of 2012, 68 camelid herds in the UK had TB? That's someting to drop in next time the dinner party conversation is starting to flag.

I feel mean saying it, but I hope that Wolfgang did have TB. Sometimes Lynda acts as if she has only just parachuted in from Sunningdale, not as if she has lived in a farming community for over a quarter of a century.
